On Monday night, as a smattering of protesters continued to remember the anniversary of Michael Brown's death, a group of four white men carrying assault weapons walked onto the streets of Ferguson.
*snip*
They might have looked familiar to veterans from last year's protests in Missouri. The heavily armed people in flak jackets are from a "patriot" group called the Oath Keepers. It is an organization of soldiers, police officers, firefighters, and veterans — the group claims 30,000 members — that is deeply suspicious of President Obama, and preparing to fight the federal government in the unlikely event that it declares martial law. The organization was founded in 2009 by former paratrooper and Yale Law School graduate Stewart Rhodes, who campaigned for Ron Paul in 2008 and has described a certain 2016 presidential candidate as Hitlery Clinton. Around 2010, when tea-party rallies speckled state capitols across the country, he was a frequent guest of conservative-television pundits.

Perhaps inevitably, the night ended with a few of the armed men cordially speaking to protesters about how great Donald Trump is.

What’s an Assault Weapon? The Rifles the Cops carry?

Interesting that the Oath Keepers are for Trump.
Donald has them trained good. :)

Obama would love to have an excuse and the GOPe wouldn't stop him.
Take gas
LOL. I think I've got a new tagline.
Man oh man, I wish I had the resources to join them.
I would gladly stand at post beside these patriots.
Finally, the activists, progressive politicians, police, and media have all found someone they can hate....
I cleaned it up. ;×) First work was “nuke”
Funny how local law brass (Affirmative Action hired enablers) are more worried about a few white guards than the hundreds of feral savages destroying their city.
Yeah. I wonder if the Oath Keepers know that Trump wants to ban "assault weapons."
“...worried about a few white guards...”
There was at least one black Oath Keeper there. See the pics in the comment section.
I can’t recall too many articles using the term “left wing journalist.” Maybe about zero.
I would not protect a journalist.
Meanwhile a local reporter got the snot beat out of him by the crowd.
Sons of Liberty—a militia to protect Journalists, White People, any free American really—black, brown yellow Red or White. police can’t do their job because of Media and PC—Its time to call upon extraordinary means.
